I cut and psted this from my other website Crazy4Carz.com
Thanks for looking, this is a great crowd and I though it is important enough to post. I know this guy and these are great people and a good cause. Thanks again.
Some of you saw a thread or on the news recently of a girl who lost her fiancee just 5 days prior to her wedding. Well, the facility that he was to have the reception has bascially refused to return any money to her. She paid about $22k for this reception and the facility has stated they are only liable to return $1000!!!! If you have not seen the artcles, they are here...

My company, Marjeane Caterers, Inc. has stepped up to do a fundraiser on January 12, 2008 to help this girl out. On that date we will be doing a 2 fold event. A dinner theater in one room and a beef & beer in the other. Costs are not set in stone as of yet, but they will be around $75 for the dinner theater and $25 for the beef & beer. We are also looking for donations for a Chinese auction that will be done at the beef & beer, as well as monetary donations. ALL proceeds from this evening will be given to Victoria (the bride) and her son so that they do not lose their home and have money to pay their bills since her fiancee did not have life insurance.
The details...
Dinner Theater...Put on by Mae & Co. with full dinner. Cash bar. This is an interactive show.
Beef & Beer...All the food and beer you can drink for $25 for 5 hours!!! DJ and Chinese auction.
We will be putting the information on our website, www.marjeane.com, this week. I also have some "special" things that I am trying to put together for this night as well. NBC10 will be helping in spreading the word on the news and I also believe that they will be in attendance as well. So far, I have the dinner theater company doing the show @ cost, a limo company donating a limo to pick the bride up, the DJ for the beef & beer donating his time, and also a photographer to take photos the night of the event.
I am NOT making a penny on this event, I am only covering my costs, all proceeds are going to this poor girl. What I am asking of everyone is to spread the word and attend if possible. For those who own businesses or work for ones that would be willing to send items for the Chinese auction or just send a donation, please contact me ASAP. We are looking to put 100-150 people in the dinner theater and if we can 200 or more in the beef & beer, I think we will be able to give this girl a substantial amount of money.
If anyone has questions, please let me know. I will also keep this thread up to date as possible. Let's show everyone out there what type of people racers REALLY are!!!!

Maybe it's time the local TV/newspapers are made aware of the situation. Amazing what can happen when publicity gets out - especially under circumstances such as this.
